Abstract

This paper identifies the VUCA environment for the employees of the Ministry of Youth and Sports in Baghdad, the organizational climate for the employees of the Ministry of Youth and Sports in Baghdad, and the relationship between the VUCA environment and the organizational climate of the employees of the Ministry of Youth and Sports in Baghdad. The current research population was determined to be the employees of the Ministry of Youth and Sports in Baghdad, which numbered 100 members from various job grades. The research sample was selected using a random method for all members. The conclusions were the emergence of a high percentage of the VUCA environment necessitates work by subordinates to understand the causes and develop appropriate solutions; the organizational climate is good, which means that the work is comfortable for employees; however, it is constrained by the VUCA environment, as it has recorded a high percentage in the ministry. There is a lack of awareness among employees regarding the different possibilities and diverse expectations related to the VUCA environment. The organizational climate has required a significant amount of work to reach this level by subordinates. Finally it is recommended to work on periodically understanding the VUCA environment, as it shortens the organization's lifespan; improve performance and focus on enhancing the organizational climate within the organization; take measures to prevent the organization from entering the VUCA environment, as it is not conducive to work and creates divisions among employees; pay attention to the organizational climate and study it continuously and intermittently over months or years, as it is a crucial aspect of creating a suitable work environment, recognize successful managers and allocate rewards to them, develop a VUCA strategy to improve employees' perception and understanding of its application, and conduct research using the scale for other scenarios and samples.
